 Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sosman joined today by Jim Sonnis of FanDuel as we are here to begin the 2021 NFL postseason. What's going on, Jim? I'm excited, Greg. We get two different Thanksgiving slates effectively this weekend. We have two, three game slates. I know some people want the six game slate, but personally, like if our favorite slate every year is Thanksgiving, why would we not take two of those? So I'm honestly pretty psyched. There's some pretty good games coming up this weekend, some good fantasy plays too. So I am excited. I'm not sure how well I'll do like from a health perspective because it could be pretty stressful, but it'll be fun no matter what. We'll go out in flames if we do go out. Yeah, I was looking at the schedule when it was announced on Sunday Night Football as the Eagles were tanking and I was really excited. I was like, these are good games. You don't have the Texan sticker for once, right? That first game on Saturday is an awesome, awesome game between the Bills and the Colts. So I'm excited to get about that. We'll get to it in a little bit. But potentially the game of the weekend is that first game on Sunday between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans. The rematch from last year's playoffs where the Titans upset the number one seated Baltimore Ravens. And now the Ravens are out for revenge. And you can say that they may be the hottest team right now in the NFL because their quarterback is the hottest quarterback in the NFL. And that is Lamar Jackson. He's priced at $9,300. They're not forcing him to pass the ball anymore. He's doing everything that made him the MVP last year. And now we got him here on this Sunday slate. And we get him for four quarters, which we did not get on Sunday, which is wild considering they needed a win to make the playoffs. They still were able to sit Lamar Jackson for part of that game. I'm not sad about that for my DFS teams, but I'm a little bit sad regardless. But I think that this is just like you said, the best game on this Sunday slate, and it's going to lead to a lot of interest in DFS rightfully so, because it should be competitive and high scoring. And that's exactly what you want, no matter what the slate size is, but especially in the three-heap slate, if you can find that, you should take it every time. Lamar has been a different quarterback since he came back from COVID. Like you said, they're letting him play to his strengths. He has been running a lot since returning, 11.2 rushes per game for 86 yards per game. That is effectively two passing touchdowns per game on the ground, in addition to being more efficient as a passer. We're talking a lot about the running, but because they've been running more, their passing isn't more efficient as well. So he's still getting bumps from the passing because he has been so good as a passer in this time. This Tennessee defense is not one to be feared. It is the second worst defense in play on this slate for the entire weekend actually, behind just the Cleveland Brown. So it's going to be an efficient day for Lamar Jackson as a passer. He's going to run a lot, should run the ball pretty well. We know this game should be pretty close for all four quarters. That just checks a lot of boxes. I think that Lamar Jackson easily, the number one quarterback on this slate. Ryan Tannehill pretty easily for me, number two. So I just want a lot of exposure to every piece involved in this game. I'm totally with you. The Tennessee defense has proven over and over again this season, they're not good. And Lamar Jackson is going to take advantage of them this weekend, as we say, he's playing as well as any quarterback in the NFL using those legs. We're going to get up for four quarters in what should be a close game. Lamar Jackson, the number one quarterback, stud on Sunday. But you want exposure to this game. So why not get the rushing champ for the second consecutive season? A player that went over 2,000 yards this year. And well, last year in this very same game, I think he made his mark, which, you know, a former Heisman trophy winner, the guy that actually led the league in rushing could only do. But that's, I felt like it was the exclamation point in this game last year where we all realized, oh my God, Derek Henry is incredible. Yes, his price at $10,200, but it's worth it when you just see him stiff farming everybody directly to the ground. Yeah, and they're at home here, which is definitely reassuring. We've also seen this matchup, not just in the playoffs last year, but also this year and in that game, Derek Henry had 28 carries for 133 yards. What we see during the playoffs is teams lean on their best players, lean on their strengths to try to advance their way through. They don't worry about rest, don't worry about conserving these players later on. So you know Derek Henry is going to be getting that rock a lot on Sunday against Baltimore, as he should. He's the best part of this offense. So why would you not lean on Derek Henry? He's averaged 133.8 yards in scrimmage per game for this entire year, gets about 35% of the team's touches inside the red zone. That's exactly what you want. So I think that if you go with Lamar Jackson and then run it back with Derek Henry, you're going to be getting almost every point scored in this game. You know, you're going to get the JK Dobbins, you know, rushes in there for sure, the Gus Edwards rushes as well, but that's going to get you a really healthy cushion. And I think we'll have the value to jam those two guys in because if Alvin Camara can't go, Latavius Murray is $5,400, which is just a money salary for him for sure. So I don't think it'll be all that tough to jam in both Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry. It is the best game on the slate. You want as much salary exposure to that game as you can possibly get. And what better way to do so than pairing Lamar Jackson with Derek Henry on the other side. It's the best two players in this game. Pair them together, see what happens, make the rest work from there. And based on the way things didn't look initially as of Monday morning, depending on how things break with Alvin Camara, I think we'll have the salary to get there. And I'd love to do so because it's just so easily the best game on the slate and they're the best two players within it. Yeah, being able to stack these game, I think it's important on Sunday with Lamar Jackson, with J.K. Dobbins, with Ryan Tanahel, we don't go with Lamar Jackson. Certainly Derek Henry and the wide receiver, man. A.J. Brown, Marquise Brown, Corey Davis. Like there is a lot of pieces in here that I want a part of. It's going to be a high score game, a fun game. And starting with Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry, it's doable, which is exciting. Even if Alvin Camara plays Daniel Davis, Murray in there at that price, I think could be worth it. Should be a fun one on Sunday. Let's move back a day and let's go to that first game of the postseason. It's the Bills and the Colts, which again, I think is a really good game. Yes, the Bills have played lights out, but the Colts are a good team. I know they struggled at times against Jacksonville in week 17. They wouldn't make the playoffs, but this is going to be a good game. And Stefan Diggs got his rest last week. Josh Allen, I mentioned Lamar Jackson being his house at any quarterback in the league. Josh Allen is as well. And I think you may want to stack this pair. We can talk about that on Friday. Stefan Diggs at $8,700. I don't know how you don't lock him in there. Yeah, and the big thing for Stefan Diggs is he is head and shoulders above everybody, every other wide receiver on this slate. There's no one that really comes close to him. The one guy you could say would in a normal setting would be Mike Evans. Mike Evans is now banged up, which could lead to more work for Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown, but still, Stefan Diggs is just the clear top receiver on the slate by a full tier, maybe even two tiers above everybody else. John Brown is back now, which does all to the way that they operate this team. But even the games he's played where they fully healthy John Brown this year, Stefan Diggs still has 28% of the bill's overall targets and 38% of the deep targets this year. Those are monster numbers. And it's not going to be that tough to get to him because unlike the Sunday Slater, we have Derek Henry, there aren't a lot of high-salary running backs to pay up for Kim Akers actually has a pretty low tag, so you could definitely get there too. We're gonna have the value to get to Stefan Diggs on Saturday and you're going to want to because the advantage you get by having him in one of those three wide receiver slots is going to be huge over the other guys who could fill that slot. So Stefan Diggs, I think again, a full tier or two above every other wide receiver on the slate. Yes, the salary is high, but this game is very good. As we talked about where I think it's the best game on the slate. He is a good player too, should go off in this one, that the Colts strength is not in their defense of secondary. So Stefan Diggs, high salary, but very worth it and very clearly the number one wide receiver on Saturday Slate. I know you kept mentioning it, but I think it's the most important piece there that Stefan Diggs is just worlds better than every other wide receiver on this slate. He's $8,700 and I just don't think it matters. He may be two tiers like you said above every other guy. And yes, Mike Evans banged off and potentially out this weekend changes things and it only makes it clear that Stefan Diggs who is healthy, who is on this high powered offense, who is going to be the most targeted wide receiver in this game. It makes a whole lot of sense that Stefan Diggs, you are building your lineups around him over everybody else. That's gonna be for us here on the Fanville Hurry Up. Jim, I appreciate the time. I will talk to you again on Friday as we go over our stacks for the weekend, but it should be a fun week of preparation here for super wild card weekend. I'm just foaming at the mouth already, Greg. Ready for this slate of games. It's gonna be fun. I know it's weird to have seven playoff teams, but if it gets us three or two different Thanksgiving slates, I'm gonna take it every time for sure. That's the best part. If you lose on Saturday, we got a whole new ballgame on Sunday. That's what makes DFS so fun. For Jim Sonnis, I am Greg Sosman. Thanks so much for watching. We'll be back tomorrow for another edition of the Fanville Hurry Up.
